Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of immunophenotype in distinguishing acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL)from HLA-DR negative acute myeloid leukemia(AML)using flow cytometry.Methods A retrospective observational study was con-ducted including 42 APL patients and 28 newly diagnosed or relapsed HLA-DR negative AML patients admitted to our hospital from 2014 to 2024.Immunophenotype analysis was performed on bone marrow aspirate samples using flow cytometry.The positive expression rates of CD64,MPO,CD7,CD11c,CD9,CD123 and other antigens were compared between the two groups using the Chi-square test.The diagnostic efficiency of the CD9/123 and CD64+MPO+CD7 CD11c-models for APL was evaluated using receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curves.Results The HLA-DR negative AML group exhibited significantly lower positive rates of CD64,CD9 and MPO(P＜0.05),and higher positive rates of CD11c and CD7(P＜0.05)compared to APL group.The CD64+MPO+CD7-CD11c-model had an area under the curve(AUCROC)of 0.859,sensitivity of 93.8％and specificity of 75.0％for distinguishing APL.The CD9/CD123 expression pattern had AUCROC of 0.919,sensitivity of 83.3％and specificity of 84.0％for APL diagnosis.The combined CD9/123 and CD64+MPO+CD7-CD11c-model had AUCROC of 0.955,sensitivity of 83.3％and specificity of 100％.Conclusion The combined CD9/123 and CD64+MPO+CD7-CD11c-expression pattern may serve as a helpful tool for differentiating APL from HLA-DR negative AML.

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is an age-related progressive skeletal muscle disorder involving the loss of muscle mass or strength and physiological function. Efficient and precise AI algorithms may play a significant role in the diagnosis of sarcopenia. In this study, we aimed to develop a machine learning model for sarcopenia diagnosis using clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators of aging cohorts. METHODS: We developed models of sarcopenia using the baseline data from the West China Health and Aging Trend (WCHAT) study. For external validation, we used the Xiamen Aging Trend (XMAT) cohort. We compared the support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and Wide and Deep (W&D) models. The area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) and accuracy (ACC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the models. RESULTS: The WCHAT cohort, which included a total of 4057 participants for the training and testing datasets, and the XMAT cohort, which consisted of 553 participants for the external validation dataset, were enrolled in this study. Among the four models, W&D had the best performance (AUC = 0.916 ± 0.006, ACC = 0.882 ± 0.006), followed by SVM (AUC =0.907 ± 0.004, ACC = 0.877 ± 0.006), XGB (AUC = 0.877 ± 0.005, ACC = 0.868 ± 0.005), and RF (AUC = 0.843 ± 0.031, ACC = 0.836 ± 0.024) in the training dataset. Meanwhile, in the testing dataset, the diagnostic efficiency of the models from large to small was W&D (AUC = 0.881, ACC = 0.862), XGB (AUC = 0.858, ACC = 0.861), RF (AUC = 0.843, ACC = 0.836), and SVM (AUC = 0.829, ACC = 0.857). In the external validation dataset, the performance of W&D (AUC = 0.970, ACC = 0.911) was the best among the four models, followed by RF (AUC = 0.830, ACC = 0.769), SVM (AUC = 0.766, ACC = 0.738), and XGB (AUC = 0.722, ACC = 0.749). CONCLUSIONS: The W&D model not only had excellent diagnostic performance for sarcopenia but also showed good economic efficiency and timeliness. It could be widely used in primary health care institutions or developing areas with an aging population. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chictr.org, ChiCTR 1800018895.

Objective:To investigate the effect of optimized catheter clipping training and automatic balloon retraction ureteral catheter removal on first urination of patients after neurosurgery, and provide guidance for postoperative micturition of these patients.Methods:From August 2020 to August 2021, 208 patients admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, undergoing craniocerebral surgery under general anesthesia and indurating catheter were selected as the study subjects by convenient sampling. They were divided into control group ( n=69), observation group A ( n=69) and observation group B( n=70) by random number table method. The control group received routine catheter clipping training and routine ureteral catheter removal, the observation group A received optimized catheter clipping training and routine ureteral catheter removal, and the observation group B received optimized catheter clipping training and automatic balloon retraction ureteral catheter removal. The first micturition time, first micturition volume, micturition circumstance, pain score and urethral irritation sign of the three groups were observed and compared. Results:The first urination time in observation group A and B were (11.58 ± 6.59) min and (10.06 ± 5.91) min, respectively, lower than (37.14 ± 13.74) min in control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=13.94, 15.07, both P<0.05); there was no significant difference between observation group B and observation group A ( P>0.05). The first urine volume were (303.66 ± 43.74) ml in control group, (299.06 ± 41.26) ml in observation group A and (299.28 ± 43.17) ml in observation group B, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The incidence of urination (spontaneous urination, induced urination and urinary retention) in observation group A was better than control group ( χ2=16.47), while observation group B was better than observation group A and control group ( χ2=8.59, 37.83), the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in pain score of ureteral catheter removal between observation group A (2.71 ± 0.67) and control group (2.87 ± 0.78) ( P>0.05). The score of observation group B (1.41 ± 0.65) was lower than that of control group and observation group A, the differences were statistically significant ( t=11.93, 11.62, both P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the incidence of urethral irritation (grade 0, 1, 2, and 3) between observation group A and control group ( P>0.05). Observation group B was lower than control group and observation group A, the differences were statistically significant ( t=38.81, 25.27, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Optimized catheter clipping training and automatic balloon retraction ureteral catheter removal can effectively shorten the first urination time of patients after neurosurgery, reduce the pain of ureteral catheter removal and urethral irritation during the first urination, improve the success rate of the first urination, and effectively prevent the occurrence of urinary retention.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) in the retroperitoneum. 【Methods】 We summarized the clinical and prognostic data of nine patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University between January 2007 and December 2017 who were diagnosed with SFT by surgical resection and pathological examination. Nine cases of retroperitoneal SFT were detected by HE and immunohistochemical SP method. The expressions of Vimintin (Vim), CD34, CD99, Ki-67, Bcl-2 and S-100 in tumor cells were analyzed for their clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. 【Results】 Among the nine patients, four were male and five were female, aged 37-69 years old. Five of them showed abdominal distension, while the other four had no obvious clinical symptoms. The tumor size was (1.0 cm×1.0 cm×2.0 cm)-(30.0 cm×25.0 cm×10.0 cm). There were seven single cases and two multiple cases. Histology showed bundle-shaped, braided spindle cells and collagen fibers of varying degrees, accompanied by mucinous degeneration and hemangiopericytoma-like morphology. Immunohistochemical results were as follows: The positive rate was 100% (9/9) for Vim, CD34 and CD99, 77% (7/9) for Ki-67, 67% (6/9) for Bcl-2, and 22% (2/9) for S-100. All the patients were followed up effectively. Two of them died (the cause of death was not related to the disease studied, and the survival time from postoperative to death was 6.5 years and 8.3 years, respectively). One surviving case relapsed 3 years after the operation, but did not recur after the second operation. No recurrence or metastasis was found in the remaining cases. 【Conclusion】 Retroperitoneal SFT is rare in the clinic, and there are no typical clinical symptoms in the early stage. Most of them are detected in physical check-ups. Ultrasound and CT examinations are the main preoperative examination methods, but they are not specific to SFT. Pathological examination is the only method for diagnosis. Radical resection is the first-choice of treatment. The preferred method for this disease is effective in early radical surgery and regular postoperative review.

ObjectiveTo explore the nursing managers' cognition, willingness, pros and cons, and suggestions on nurses' multi-site practice, aiming at providing reference for the policy formulation, implementation and effective management in related institutions. MethodsBased on the phenomenological research method in qualitative research, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 nursing deans in 10 ClassⅢ hospitals in Jiangsu Province from January to April 2018, and analyzed by Colaizzi analysis program. The nursing managers in Jiangsu Province were investigated in detail about their cognition, willingness, evaluation and suggestions on the pros and cons of nurses' multi-site practice. ResultsThe themes summarized included:"four areas of influences of nurses' multi-site practice on the society, government, hospital, and nurses themselves" "obstacles and difficulties in conducting nurses' multi-site practice" and "suggestions on nurses' multi-site practice". ConclusionsThe nursing managers have a high level of perception towards the nurses' multi-site practice, however, the medical institutions are still at a wait-and-see stage. To prepare for multi-site practice, relevant laws and legislation should be established and regulated as soon as possible, meanwhile, the management ideology and human resources management should be renovated, the admission standards of the qualification of nurses' multi-site practice should be made more strict, and the good conditions for multi-site practice should be created through interdisciplinary cooperation and great efforts.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo assess the sleep body position's effects on AHI and ODI during sleep in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with different severity.METHODSThe clinical data of 113 subjects who had been diagnosed OSAHS or normal by polysomnography (PSG) between 2013 and 2014 in our department were retrospectively studied. They were divided into normal control group (AHI<5/h, 41 patients), mild to moderate OSAHS group (5/h30/h, 40 patients). PSG data of AHI and ODI in different body position in each group were further analyzed.RESULTSIn normal group, The AHI and ODI in supine position were significantly higher than that in the left or right lateral position, and the difference between the left and right lateral position was not significant. In the mild to moderate OSAHS group, the AHI and ODI in supine were higher than that in the left lateral position slightly, while the data in supine was higher than that in the right lateral position significantly. In the severe group, the data between the supine and the left lateral position was not statistically different, while the supine position data was higher compared with that of the right lateral position. CONCLUSIONAHI and ODI were higher in supine position than that in lateral position, while the AHI and ODI in right lateral position is higher than that in left lateral position in OSAHS patients with different severity. The ODI and AHI are consistent in reflecting the severity of the OSAHS.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the differences of sleep respiratory parameters recorded by PSG and synchronous blood pressure measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitor between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients with hypertension (HT) and simple OSA and simple HT; To determine the characteristics of sleep respiratory parameters and blood pressure changes in patient with OSA accompanied HT. METHOD: We chose the patients who were diagnosed simple HT (n=45) and simple OSA (n=50) and OSA with HT (n=56), Compared the sleep respiratory parameters and blood pressure changes between the three groups. Meanwhile the correlations about the sleep respiratory parameters and synchronization blood pressure were analyzed. RESULT: Compared with simple HT and simple OSA, OSA with HT has higher apnea hyponea Index (AHI) (P<0. 001), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), awake index (AI), wake after sleep onset (WASO) and the proportion of non-rapid eyemovement sleepl (N1) in total sleep time(TST), has lower mean arterial oxygen saturation (MSaO2), lowest arterial saturation oxygen (LSaO2), the proportion of slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eyemovement sleep (REM) in TST (P<0. 05). There were positive correlations between the systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/ DBP) and AHI, ODI, AI, WASO and N1/TST (P<0. 05). Compared with simple OSA, the mean day systolic blood pressure (dMSP), mean night systolic blood pressure (nMSP), mean day diastolic blood pressure (dMDP), mean night diastolic blood pressure (nMDP) and mean night diastolic blood pressure (nMDP) were significantly decre- sed, meanwhile the difference between the average systolic/diastolic blood pressure day and night were significantly increased after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. OSA with HT has higher There were negative correlations between the SBP/DBP and MSaO2, LSaO2 (P<0. 05). Blood pressure mainly changed in the later sleep stage when the REM phase was increased. Blood pressure changes were characteristic of increasing DBP and decreasing SaO2. CONCLUSION There are significant differences between simple OSA and OSA with HT in the sleep respiratory parameters, which are closely related with changes of blood pressure in sleep stage; AHI is the high risk factor of the OSA with HT. PSG is a effective factor in estimating the OSA accompanied HT course of development and prognosis.

BACKGROUNDEndostar™ (rh-endostatin, YH-16) is a new recombinant human endostatin developed by Medgenn Bioengineering Co. Ltd., Yantai, Shandong, P.R.China. Pre-clinical study indicated that YH-16 could inhibit tumor endothelial cell proliferation, angiogenesis and tumor growth. Phase I and phase II studies revealed that YH-16 was effective as single agent with good tolerance in clinical use.The current study was to compare the response rate , median ti me to progression (TTP) ,clinical benefit andsafety in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) , who were treated with YH-16 plus vi-norelbine and cisplatin (NP) or placebo plus NP.

METHODSFour hundred and ninety-three histologically or cy-tologically confirmed stage IIIB and IV NSCLC patients , withlife expectancy > 3 months and ECOG perform-ance status 0-2 , were enrolledin a randomized ,double-blind ,placebo-controlled , multicenter trial ,either trialgroup : NP plus YH-16 (vinorelbine 25 mg/m² on day 1 and day 5 ,cisplatin 30mg/m² on days 2 to 4 , YH-167.5mg/m² on days 1 to 14) or control group : NP plus placebo (vinorelbine 25 mg/m² on day 1 and day 5 ,cis-platin 30 mg/m² on days 2 to 4 ,0.9% sodium-chloride 3 .75 ml on days 1 to 14) every 3 weeks for 2-6 cycles .The trial endpoints included response rate ,clinical benefit rate ,time to progression,quality of life and safety .

RESULTSOf 486 assessable patients , overall response rate was 35.4% in trial group and 19.5% in controlgroup (P=0 .0003) . The median TTP was 6 .3 months and 3 .6 months for trial group and control group respectively (P < 0 .001) . The clinical benefit rate was 73 .3 %in trial group and 64.0% in control group (P=0 .035) .In untreated patients of trial group and control group ,the response rate was 40 .0% and 23.9%(P=0 .003) ,the clinical benefit rate was 76 .5 % and 65 .0 % (P=0 .023) ,the median TTP was 6 .6 and 3 .7months (P=0 .0000) ,respectively .In pretreated patients of trial group and control group ,the response ratewas 23.9% and 8.5%(P=0 .034) ,the clinical benefit rate was 65.2% and 61.7%(P=0 .68) ,the median TTP was 5 .7 and 3 .2 months (P=0 .0002) ,respectively . The relief rate of clinical symptoms in trial groupwas higher than that of those in control group ,but no significance existed (P > 0 .05) . The score of quality oflife in trial group was significantly higher than that in control group (P=0 .0155) after treatment . There were no significant differences in incidence of hematologic and non-hematologic toxicity , moderate and severe sideeffects betweentrial group and control group .

CONCLUSIONSThe addition of YH-16 to NP regimen results in significantly and clinically meaningful improvement in response rate , median time to tumor progression,and clinical benefit rate compared with NP alone in advanced NSCLC patients . YH-16 in combination with chemotherapy shows a synergic activity and a favorable toxic profile in advanced cancer patients .
